System Requirements Document (SRD)

snowy-subscription

1. Introduction

The snowy-subscription project is a subscription-based and e-commerce platform designed to streamline the operations of a dairy business. This document outlines the system requirements for enhancing the existing Dairy Fresco Management System with new features such as product categories, a bulk order module, and Razorpay integration for payments.

The goal is to provide a seamless experience for customers, admins, and delivery partners while maintaining scalability and operational efficiency.

2. System Overview

The snowy-subscription system will enable:

• Daily milk delivery via subscriptions.
• On-demand ordering of dairy products.
• Bulk ordering for events such as weddings, parties, and functions.
• Efficient management of inventory, deliveries, and payments.

The enhancements include:

1. Adding product categories for better organization.
2. Introducing a bulk order module for event-based orders.
3. Integrating Razorpay for secure payment processing after admin approval.

The system will cater to multiple user personas, including customers, admins, and delivery partners, ensuring a smooth and intuitive experience for all stakeholders.

3. Functional Requirements

As a Customer:

• I should be able to subscribe to milk (cow/buffalo) with options for quantity and frequency.
• I should be able to browse products by categories (Milk, Dairy Products, Sweets, Beverages, Snacks).
• I should be able to place bulk orders for events via a dedicated form.
• I should be able to view the status of my bulk orders.
• I should be able to make payments for bulk orders after admin approval using Razorpay.

As an Admin:

• I should be able to manage product categories and update product details (e.g., category, unit, bulk availability).
• I should be able to view and manage all bulk orders in a table format.
• I should be able to approve, reject, or update the status of bulk orders.
• I should be able to set the total price for bulk orders.
• I should be able to manage subscriptions, orders, and inventory efficiently.

As a Delivery Partner:

• I should be able to view assigned deliveries.

4. User Personas

1. Customer

5. Visuals Colors and Theme

Color Palette for snowy-subscription:

• Background: #F9F9F9
• Surface: #FFFFFF

• Muted Tones: #B0BEC5

This palette reflects a clean, modern, and approachable aesthetic suitable for a dairy and e-commerce platform.

6. Signature Design Concept

Interactive Snowy Landscape Homepage

The homepage will feature an animated snowy landscape that evolves as users scroll. Key elements include:

• Snowfall Animation: Subtle, continuous snowfall in the background to create a cozy and inviting atmosphere.
• Interactive Sections: Each product category (Milk, Dairy Products, Sweets, Beverages, Snacks) represented as a snow-covered cabin. Clicking a cabin reveals the products inside with a smooth "door opening" animation.
• Bulk Orders Section: A glowing "Event Tent" in the snowy landscape, symbolizing celebrations. Clicking it opens the bulk order form with a festive animation.
• Micro-Interactions: Hover effects that make snowflakes swirl around the cursor and buttons that "frost over" when clicked.

This design will make the platform visually unforgettable while maintaining usability and clarity.

7. Non-Functional Requirements

• Performance: Response time under 2 seconds for all operations.
• Scalability: Support for 10,000+ users.
• Security: Secure payment processing via Razorpay.
• Reliability: Ensure 99.9% uptime for subscription and order workflows.

8. Tech Stack

Frontend:

• React for the web application.

Backend:

• Python with FastAPI for API development.

Database:

• MySQL for structured data (subscriptions, orders, products).
• Alembic for database migrations.

Payment Integration:

• Razorpay for secure payment processing.

Containerization:

• Docker and docker-compose for local orchestration.

Server-Side Orchestration:

• Kubernetes for deployment and scaling.

9. Assumptions and Constraints

• Customers will primarily access the platform via the web.
• Payments for bulk orders will only be processed after admin approval.
• Delivery tracking will include GPS integration for real-time updates.
• The system will support multiple admin roles with varying permissions.

10. Glossary

• Bulk Order: A one-time large order for events such as weddings or parties.
• Razorpay: A payment gateway for processing online transactions.
• Admin: A user with permissions to manage the system, including products, orders, and subscriptions.
• Delivery Partner: A user responsible for delivering products to customers.
